Issues with Applying to Jobs – Jobs Showing as Unavailable

Hello Upwork Community,

I’m encountering an issue with job listings, and I’m hoping someone can help or guide me to a solution.

Recently, I’ve noticed that many jobs appearing in my feed are no longer available. For example, I found a job just two minutes after it was posted, but when I clicked on it, I couldn’t apply. The “Required Connects” section was visible, but there was no option to boost my proposal. Typically, boosting should be available for fresh job posts, so this feels like a bug or misrepresentation in the job availability.

I’ve tried reaching out to support multiple times via the chat bot to connect with an agent, but I haven’t been successful in getting assistance. This issue is impacting my ability to apply for new opportunities, and I’m hoping there’s a way to resolve it.

Could anyone advise on the best steps to escalate this issue or share similar experiences? Any insights would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

I think that Upwork stopped allowing people with no prior jobs to boost their proposals, as a way of stopping the bots. It doesn't mean that the job isn't available, and you can still apply without boosting.
